Well, it's been at least two weeks since I made fresh ricotta which is a significant drop-off from my earlier days of obsession. So, I had to make some, and it's draining now. I'm also making more peach-plum-lime-ginger jam and am happy to say that I have successfully used every ripe plum and peach during the past two days. No waste here!!
T's gone tonight, and as I wrote several weeks ago, a night alone is always nice. I get so many random things done that I tend to put off if he's home. Nothing glamorous -laundry, cooking, reading, etc- but it feels good and productive, and I'm never awakened by thunderous snoring.

Off to get the jam out of the canning kettle and then put some dinner together. Fresh ricotta and heirloom tomatoes, anyone?
